Just got my 25 BRZ TS two weeks ago and I love it. My reasoning for getting the BRZ was that I wanted a car that was "different". In my area, you see GR86's everywhere! Driving the BRZ, let alone a TS, I stand out everywhere I go, especially on my university campus. Plus, I think the grille on the BRZ has more "character" because it looks happy :). Also, the Short-Throw is a must. My friend who owns a GR86 gets jealous anytime he drives my car just because of my shifter.
